(Singing the Hope)
Immortal Songs,
- Singing the Legend! / - Singing the Legend!
(Immortal Songs, Singing the Legend)
Our first guest to introduce was born in 1946.
He is an actor and cuisine researcher, Lee Jungsub.
(His voice and tone are unique.)
My goodness.
(He is loved as an actor with a unique character.)
(Lee Jungsub is on Immortal Songs.)
To be honest,
I have neither worked with him
nor seen him for a long time.
Still, I always feel like he is around.
That's right.
A lot of celebrities do a voice impression of you.
- Yes. / - Yes.
You must be very nervous.
I think this is a chance I will never get again.
Such a big program won't invite me again.
At year-end, I watched the special
- with Shin Joonghyun. / - It aired recently.
He was here as the legend.
I wouldn't have joined for a special like that.
I wouldn't have come.
That's why we didn't call you back then.
(I see.)
We waited for this special to give you a call.
I also watched a special
- with the seven actors. / - That's right.
You were brought up.
Myeongguk did a voice impression of me.
That's right.
(Children, I brought wraps.)
(Come on out and eat.)
(I left out the sesame oil.)
That jerk!
(It's the most elegant scolding.)
It's a guest we wanted to meet
who was born in 1958.
He is the master of voice impressions and comedian,
Choi Byungsuh.
(He has many voices.)
(He is the master of voice impressions.)
(Comedian, Choi Byungsuh)
While many celebrities can do voice impressions,
Choi Byungsuh is the first one
who comes to your mind.
No one can imitate Lee Deokhwa
- as well as him. / - That's right.
It's nice to meet you.
I heard that you go fishing often.
Did you catch a lot of fish?
I fish and work these days.
He sounds exactly like Lee Deokhwa.
Since you are on TV after a long break,
please say hello with a voice impression.
I can talk about farting in Rhee Syngman's voice.
You can talk about farting.
I do it at an event that pays well.
(Show me the money.)
Is the appearance fee not to your liking?
I can do imitate President Moon Jaein.
He hasn't been the president for long.
Let's say the president farted.
Honorable citizens,
it's time that farting went under a reformation.
A respectful nation...
No, a respectful fart
has good sound and smell.
Don't you agree?
(Touched)
People say that
bad things happen on a big day.
My voice grew hoarse.
I don't usually practice singing,
but the scriptwriters said I must do well.
You can do it comfortably.
You can take the stage with ease.
I haven't even practiced for "Gayo Stage".
- You are that confident. / - Yes.
I was such a good singer
that I once performed in the U.S at a convention hall.
So many people came.
When I sang "Ganyangrok", Korean Americans cried.
(He is so absorbed that he begins to sing.)
(Byungsuh...)
You keep talking even without us asking a question.
We asked our last question about 48 minutes ago.
Now, you talk about singing in the U.S.
What kind of an outcome are you expecting?
Do you think you will win?
The major news all talked about me back in the days.
After I sang "Ganyangrok",
- I performed six times. / - I am sorry,
but please answer in confident,
not confident, yes, or no.
"I am confident." "I am not confident."
I am not on Immortal Songs every day.
I am here once or twice a year.
There are things I want to talk about.
He is sulking.
Byungsuh represents those who were born in 1958.
We look forward to your performance.
Look forward to it.
- He is so funny. / - I know.
This guest was born in 1970.
He is an actor who is like a chameleon.
Song Youngkyu is here.
My goodness.
(With good acting skills,)
Your performance is the worst.
(he shows his presence in all genres.)
You will get a disciplinary punishment.
(A talented actor,)
(Song Youngkyu)
("Mr. Hong", "Unbowed", "Love Phobia",)
("Good Morning President", "A Hard Day", etc.)
No matter which movie you are in,
you grab the audience's attention
with your appearance.
- He is known / - That's right.
- as the scene stealer. / - The scene stealer.
Since I am very ordinary,
the directors want me for various roles.
You are like a white canvas.
(Embarrassed)
No matter which role the directors want,
he can pull it off.
It's a big pressure.
It's your first time to be on a variety show.
- Are you nervous at all? / - I am very nervous.
My palms are sweating.
The guests who visit a variety show
usually show a specialty
- like a voice impression. / - I bet he has many.
Do you have a specialty?
No, I don't. I can dance.
You must have known we would do this.
He came with the knowledge
of what happens in a variety show.
It must have been hard to visit a variety show.
Did anyone recommend it?
No, my daughter suggested visiting the show.
- Your youngest daughter. / - Yes!
Yes, it was my youngest daughter.
It's cool that you visited the show to be a cool dad.
- I became a dad recently. / - That's right.
If my daughter says, "I want to hear you sing,"
I would make that difficult decision.
I will now pick our first performer.
Is it beginning right away?
- Yes, it is. / - No way!
Dongyeop is picking the first ball.
I will now pick our first performer.
Then we might perform before saying hello.
- That has happened a lot. / - Really?
I don't think she would be unfamiliar with this show.
In 2006, she debuted as a KBS anchor in the 32nd batch.
- It must be Choi Songhyun. / - No way!
She received a lot of love from hosting
"The Good Nation Headquarters".
Then she became an actress
and appeared in "Insadong Scandal",
"I Need Romance",
and "The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop".
She is a celebrity who was born in 1982
with a new acting career.
She is an actress, Choi Songhyun.
(Choi Songhyun)
Do I go right away?
Right before Dongyeop picked a ball,
Songhyun asked us a question.
(Can we perform before saying hello?)
(Her worry came true.)
From an anchor, she became an actress.
She represents those who were born in 1981.
Choi Songhyun is here.
(An actress who was born in 1982, Choi Songhyun)
Hello.
I am Choi Songhyun.
Returning to KBS must feel like returning home.
"Sang Sang Plus", which is a program
- that made me known, / - I know the program.
was filmed in this studio.
I see.
I frequented this studio for a year.
How does it feel to be back?
Today, I had to walk all the way
from the visitors' parking lot.
When I was an employee, I could park close.
Icy wind blew towards me
as I thought, "I am a visitor now."
I heard that you have the passion for dance.
You put a lot of effort into your performance.
Will you dance today?
I turned 37 this year.
I taped my feet like a girl group member at this age.
- Did you tape your feet? / - Yes, I did.
- She taped her feet. / - She really did.
You taped her feet. Youngji.
You did this a lot when you were in Kara.
Yes, I did.
If you do an amazing job on the stage,
Immortal Songs might call you back.
Would you say yes to that?
Yes!
(She doesn't hesitate.)
- She doesn't hesitate. / - She is confident.
You wouldn't mind the visitor's parking lot.
I can brave it and the icy wind.
If it's the summer, I will wipe my sweat.
- Choi Songhyun, let's go! / - Let's go!
Let's go.
- Do I go now? / - Yes.
It's time to go.
- Let's go. / - Let's go.
Let's go.
Hello, I am an actress who was born in 1982,
Choi Songhyun.
It's nice to meet you.
(She debuted in 2006 as a KBS anchor)
(from the 32nd batch.)
(Songhyun made her name known)
(as the host of the show, "Sang Sang Plus".)
(She won Female Rookie of the Year)
(at 2007 KBS Entertainment Awards.)
- Congratulations. / - Congratulations.
(After that, she made her debut as an actress.)
(Since then, she has been praised for)
(her stable performance in various shows and films.)
(The actress who's always challenging herself)
Thank you so much
for inviting me on the Year of the Golden Dog Special.
This is my first time performing alone on stage,
so I was extremely nervous.
But after two rehearsals, I thought,
"This is what it's like to perform on stage."
I think I'm enjoying it now.
I'll be so happy if I do as well as I did
during the rehearsals.
The song I'll perform today
is "The Pierrot Smiles at Us" by Kim Wansun.
I insisted that just singing won't be enough
and that I must add a performance element.
Something I can pull off if I practice very hard.
I think that's why I can show you this today.
Hello, everyone. The Year of the Golden Dog is here.
I hope you can achieve all you want this year.
I also hope you can enjoy my performance with me.
Thank you.
("The Pierrot Smiles at Us")
(made Kim Wansun rise to stardom)
(and enabled her to enjoy her prime.)
(She became the first female singer in Korea)
(to sell over a million copies due to this song.)
Here comes the first performer.
The one who was born in 1982, Choi Songhyun.
(Choi Songhyun)
("The Pierrot Smiles at Us" by Choi Songhyun)
Everyone, please clap along and sing with me.
One, two.
One, two, three, four.
Louder.
Make it more exciting!
(Songhyun showed us her chameleon-like charm)
(through her performance)
(of "The Pierrot Smiles at Us.")
Awesome.
Thank you.
That was Songhyun's "The Pierrot Smiles at Us".
I must say, she totally fooled us.
Look at her now. She looks like a female lead
of a drama in one of those ending scenes.
The credit can roll up now.
She played the piano at the beginning.
I was so surprised.
She sure prepared a lot for the performance.
She said that she included the dance
in the performance because she's not a good singer,
but I think she sang very well too.
She also did a good job with the dance
and she even played the piano.
It's hard for even singers to prepare that much.
- Totally. / - I think many people
will press the button for her.
- Many must be surprised. / - Exactly.
I will now pick our second performer.
I'm so nervous that my head is spinning.
(We feel the same way.)
Oh, no.
I'm very much looking forward
to this artist's endeavors in 2018.
He knows how to deliver heart-wrenching emotions
and his voice really speaks to our hearts.
Most importantly, his earnest passion
for performing on stage and his sincerity
have moved many people's hearts
and made him the new rookie of the show.
This artist was born in 1982 as well.
It's Kim Yongjin.
(Kim Yongjin)
(Kim Yongjin is a real singer!)
He'll be the super rookie of 2018.
Kim Yongjin is here!
(The sentimental vocalist, Kim Yongjin)
You're the only professional singer today.
- That's right. / - Isn't it unfair?
I heard that Yongjin is determined to win today.
- I am determined. / - Oh, is that right?
I heard he brought a choir of 30 people.
- Seriously? / - Yes.
Today's show is more like a festival.
- Yes, he's the only... / - He's here to compete.
Everyone else is here to enjoy the experience.
Jungsub, did you bring anyone who will help you?
Of course not. I brought nobody.
Yongjin is the only one who brought a choir.
By the way, I heard that many things have changed
for Yongjin after performing on our show.
- Is that right? / - What kind of changes?
When I got here today, I saw that
my fans had been waiting for me outside.
- Oh, my. / - You have fans now.
They even record videos of me saying hello
to them and post them on the internet.
- Video clips. / - On your way to work.
- My gosh. / - That's...
(Now, fans wait for him to take photos with him.)
- Go, Kim Yongjin. / - Best of luck.
Thank you. See you all later.
Okay.
Are you okay with going second?
I'm very happy to be here with these actors today...
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I'm very honored to sing on the same stage as them.
- You're lying. / - Jungsub, please tell him off.
Gosh, I'm just speechless now.
(Let me spank you instead.)
You deserved that.
(I really meant it.)
You need to be scolded.
I prepared a lot for this meaningful special.
I'll do my best so that I can have no regrets.
We look forward to watching
the new super rookie's incredible performance.
- Yongjin, good luck! / - Good luck!
Does he want to escort him?
We also have a former member of Kara here.
She's a multi-entertainer.
Representing the Year of the Dog 1994,
Hur Youngji is here.
Hello.
(She's a multi-entertainer from Kara,)
(a female idol group.)
(She's both sexy and cute.)
(Also she has a perfect talent for variety shows.)
Hello, I'm today's host,
Hur Youngji of Kara, for "Emergency Escape Number 1".
(She is also a talented actress.)
(Happy virus, Hur Youngji)
I'll do my best.
Unlike the others, you've performed a lot,
- so you must be less nervous. / - Of course.
I'm really nervous today.
She isn't fully present.
I came here today to make everyone happy
and to cheer everyone up for the year 2018.
But everyone else is so bright and cheerful.
(They're already very cheerful.)
I don't think I need to do anything.
I feel like they'll cheer me up.
You know, my daughter is her age.
Really?
My dad was born in 1958.
(Dad and daughter finally meet.)
What's happening?
He's her dad's age and she's his daughter's age.
Dad Choi Byungsuh.
You can be my foster daughter.
- What a coincidence. / - I married late.
My dad said that too.
I see.
I hope Youngji wins today.
Just like that?
I'll give you happiness as the youngest here.
Hello. I'm Kim Yongjin. Nice to meet you.
I've been a singer for over ten years.
Honestly, I didn't make it big.
(He made a grand debut with a unique voice.)
(However, the road to success was tough.)
I haven't performed alone in ten years.
It's a chance I might never get again.
(His solo performance and earnest wish)
(touched everyone's heart.)
(He became a rising star of Immortal Songs.)
(Kim Yongjin performs alone after 10 years.)
(He overcomes his stage fright on Immortal Songs.)
Today will be a really special performance.
My mother will be sitting
in the audience watching me.
I always wanted to invite my mother to my concert.
But I never had a chance.
I'm happy I can finally do that.
I will sing "Wind Song"
by Cho Yongpil.
I kept thinking about the lyrics
as I practice the song. The words
were like my story.
I want to tell my story
to the audience and my mom.
Dear all the viewers, please stay healthy.
Mom.
(We wish you'll always be happy like this.)
Please be with me just as you are right now.
Thank you.
("Wind Song" was released in 1997)
(in Cho Yongpil's 16th album.)
(The lyrics that reflect his years of experience)
(in combination with his mature style)
(were a huge hit. The song was loved)
(by various age groups at the time of its release.)
(The song was featured in SBS drama)
("Wind Song", and also in the OST)
(of "Go Back Couple", a popular KBS drama)
(which recently aired.)
Here comes the second performer, Kim Yongjin.
(The second performance by Kim Yongjin)
(Kim Yongjin is the best!)
(He walks confidently like a star of Immortal Songs.)
Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
Today's performance is a very meaningful one.
I performed for the first time in 2005.
My mom came to see me then.
She's here again after 12 years.
She's over there.
(She gets to see him perform after 12 years.)
I'm so thankful that I'm able to invite my mother
to this wonderful show, Immortal Songs.
Without your love,
I wouldn't be here right now.
I'll keep working hard.
Please look forward it.
Hope you have a happy new year.
(Gorgeous voice)
("Wind Song" by Kim Yongjin)
(It's a miraculous dream.)
Thank you.
("Wind Song" by Kim Yongjin)
(He didn't want to get emotional.)
I shouldn't be like this.
(He couldn't stop his tears.)
My mom was right there.
I couldn't think at that moment.
Especially today...
I was really nervous today.
(They don't have to try to feel anything.)
- What a touching stage. / - Yongjin's "Wind Song".
Actually, his mother got a surgery recently.
Things aren't well right now.
He wanted to show her his stage while she's healthy.
That's how he prepared today's stage.
I think his mother would be very happy.
Right.
I think he tried very hard to hold the tears in.
His voice and the lyrics
were very fitting.
He went through a lot. Through Immortal Songs...
He's so young. What could he have been through?
A struggle like this should continue.
Then you can grow
and make a use of it when you're 70 or 80.
Make a use of it?
After saying something so nice, he ended on a bad note.
- It's like cooking. / - Yes.
Make a use of it.
When you hear something wrong, please cut it out.
- I could make mistakes. / - That's true.
Youngji, what did you think?
You saw stages by your seniors.
I was tearing up, but I held it in.
- I shouldn't cry now. / - No, you have to sing.
I thought Yongjin's stage was really good.
- It touched you. / - It touched my heart.
- Me too. / - Youngkyu, you too?
- How did you see it? / - Recently,
my mother passed away as well.
Both of my parents...
I was really moved.
I think I'm leaning towards...
- Yongjin? / - Towards Yongjin?
- Because it happened recently. / - Yes.
That's why.
(Choi Songhyun versus Kim Yongjin)
We had two stars born in 1982.
They went first and second today.
Actually, Songhyun used to be a KBS announcer.
In order to make her childhood dream come true,
she became an actress.
It's not an easy decision to make.
- You must have had many difficulties / - Yes.
- becoming an actress. / - Well...
Since it's something I love to do,
to have a filmography
after becoming an actress means a lot to me.
Whenever I look back at past works,
I feel like I'm alive in that moment.
That makes me proud and happy.
After watching your stage,
I was surprised at your singing talent.
- You must be surprised. / - You sang so well.
Piano? It was amazing.
But your dance...
(That was not a good idea.)
What should I say?
It felt like you learned how to dance from a book.
Yes. Was it that bad?
No!
It wasn't bad.
Please give her a round of applause.
(We could see the effort you put in.)
I heard
that you cried backstage while watching Yongjin.
Yes. I couldn't help it.
I heard you cried.
I heard Yongjin's beautiful voice.
I think I cried because of mixed feelings.
This place...
This studio is like my first love.
- Yes. / - Yes.
As much as I loved it,
I miss it and I'm curious about it.
I'm always wishing good things for it.
- That's why I cried. / - I see.
Yongjin, you said that
your mother came to watch today in your introduction.
Maybe that's why you were so emotional today.
Yes, my mother is here.
While singing on stage,
I had a lot on my mind.
I feel so sorry to my mother.
Also, I'm thankful to the audience
and to the Immortal Songs team.
Ma'am, where are you? Could you raise your hand?
Would you mind getting up?
(Cho Yongja)
Gosh.
(Earnest)
Your son will start to treat you better now.
Please continue to cheer for him by his side.
Thank you for coming today.
(I'll be good to you, Mom.)
These days, he's being called to different places.
I heard you were hired for an event too.
Our producers were so happy to hear it.
Yes. I went to my first event two days ago.
It was my first hired event.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Actually, these shows don't pay them enough.
This is just so they could get their names known.
You're right. But it was my first time.
It was a very cheerful event,
but I only sang three ballad songs.
That's why
I was asked not to sing my fourth song.
You brought the mood down.
- I only sang ballads. / - You should
prepare some cheerful songs.
- Put it on your list. / - I will.
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Let's see the result.
(A battle between stars born in 1982)
(Her effort and passion shined on stage.)
It's 2018's first battle of the new year.
They were both born in 1982.
Will Choi Songhyun get her first win?
(He's no longer a singer without a name.)
He's 2018's super rookie.
Will Kim Yongjin take 2018's first win?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(Who will be the winner?)
(Effort and passion)
(Sincere and heartwarming)
(Kim Yongjin)
- Kim Yongjin. / - Thank you.
You can go ahead.
Songhyun, please congratulate him.
Please give another round of applause
for Choi Songhyun and Kim Yongjin.
I feel like I gave my mother a gift.
Now...
I'm really happy. I reached my goal.
I will now pick our third performer.
(Serious)
- Originally... / - Why are they laughing?
It's because your eyebrows look so funny.
This person shines no matter where he is.
Dramas, movies
and even theater.
He has a unique style of acting.
On top of that, he can cook.
He's a great cook.
He was born in 1946, Year of the Dog.
He's an actor and a cuisine researcher.
It's Lee Jungsub.
(Lee Jungsub)
(Born in 1946, Lee Jungsub)
This is good news.
I'm glad.
-Why? / - Because I'm going after someone really good.
- Do you feel relaxed? / - I feel very relaxed.
I'll try my best
to perform as much as I practiced.
I have no idea what the result will be.
Thank you.
He always cheers us up. Lee Jungsub!
- Let's go! / - Let's go!
(Good luck, Jungsub!)
I just hope I don't get too nervous.
Why am I so nervous at this age?
TV shows are so scary.
After finishing her stage, Choi Songhyun is back!
(Choi Songhyun is back.)
By the way, I think you were acting.
- You acted like a baby. / - What?
- She was a crybaby. / - A crybaby?
You sang so well. You even danced.
I never imagined you'd play the piano.
- You were so good. / - You're talented.
- Did you get to show / - Her piano is good.
everything you prepared?
Do you want to see more?
(No way)
- Do you want to see more? / - Why?
(Don't tell me...)
You have got to be kidding.
Since it's our first show of 2018,
it's Chiyeul's Fierce
- Welcoming Ceremony! / - Welcoming Ceremony!
Okay.
I know you want to see more.
I'll collect all your wishes.
We'll start with Choi Songhyun.
Her dance is amazing.
- There's a rumor. / - Can you dance properly?
Please play a nice song for Songhyun.
- Cue the music! / - Cue the music!
I really don't know how.
Show us!
Choi Songhyun!
What do I do?
(It's a sexy dance.)
(Her hair is helping her.)
Help me.
It's Youngkyu.
(Shocking)
Out of nowhere?
(Energetic)
(He has perfect body proportions.)
Out of nowhere? It's so sudden!
(Even his turns are perfect.)
What is this?
(This year is the Year of the Dog!)
That was impressive.
I was so shocked.
When he did a turn,
- it looked amazing. / - I was so shocked.
- It was a jazz turn. / - Did you learn it?
I was in 30 or 40 musical performances.
- That's when I learned / - You learned the turn.
the basics.
Your facial expression looked very different
when you did the turn.
I am glad I brought him out.
We almost missed it.
- We almost missed it. / - You know what?
When you brought him out,
he forgot that you were dancing first
in his excitement.
(He pushed Songhyun aside and took the center.)
He can really dance.
You are the best.
Now, we should look at Youngji's dance.
- Youngji. / - She's good.
I heard that she has talent in voice impressions.
- Voice impressions. / - I can imitate Han Yeseul.
I will give it a go.
- She has talent. / - Jang Chulsoo.
What is it?
What a nuisance!
(Han Yeseul played a unique character)
Jang Chul Soo, I'm hungry.
(in "Go Back".)
- She has talent. / - Jang Chulsoo.
What is it? Were you here all along?
- She sounds the same! / - I'm hungry. I need food.
She sounds the same!
Both the father and daughter are good
at voice impressions.
- It runs in the family. / - Yes.
Do you have another one?
I can imitate Hwang Jungeum.
It's Hwang Jungeum's cute act.
(Expectant)
Honey, I want to eat a cheeseburger.
I want a cheeseburger with extra cheese.
(Men love it.)
- You sounded the same. / - You sounded the same.
She sounded exactly the same.
- That must be why you can act well. / - Thank you.
You pay attention to the important details.
- You can copy them. / - It's fun.
Songhyun is working
- as an actress. / - That's right.
Can you do Hwang Jungeum's line
about a cheeseburger?
Of course, she can.
She was the MC of "Sang Sang Plus".
My version won't be so cute.
Give us the line.
Honey, I want a cheeseburger.
I want a cheeseburger with extra cheese.
How scary!
Where did that voice come from?
- Do you like it? / - She is good.
I am good, right?
Hello.
Among the guests of the day, I am the oldest.
I am the senior who was born in 1946, Lee Jungsub.
(He is an actor with 56 years of experience.)
(He is an entertainer who can cook as well.)
(The star who was born in 1946, Lee Jungsub)
(The Year of Golden Dog)
This is a chance I will never get again.
I was so happy and excited to be
on a big program like Immortal Songs
that I accepted the offer.
Two and a half years ago,
I got a surgery for stomach cancer.
Ever since the surgery,
I don't have a lot of energy.
My throat goes hoarse very often.
It has been a while since I sang.
It has been over 15 years.
Which song did you choose?
("I Have to Go")
"I Have to Go".
"He can sing the song well since he is seasoned."
(He wants to hear that after the performance.)
I just hope
people won't criticize me.
("I Have to Go" is an OST of "Dream Fades",)
(a movie that was released in 1959.)
(The actress of the movie sang the song.)
(Yoon Sinae, Patti Kim, Yang Heeeun,)
(Moon Juran, Jung Hoonhee,)
(and many others remade the song.)
Here comes the third performer
who was born in 1946, Lee Jungsub.
Happy New Year!
Among the performers of the day,
I am the oldest.
Please look at my performance kindly.
("I Have to Go" by Lee Jungsub)
(Sincere singing always touches the heart first.)
Thank you.
(Jungsub sang "I Have to Go" with all of his heart.)
- How was it? / - I feel so much better now.
Gosh, I'm so relieved.
I was totally immersed in the song.
(It made us sentimental.)
He said he decided to join us today because
he may not get a chance to make such a memory again.
Years of life experience can always
- transform a song. / - Totally.
- It becomes amplified. / - Definitely.
My gosh. I was totally mesmerized by his performance.
- "This is the life" / - He told a story.
"I've lived." It was as if he was telling a story.
Those pictures behind him were so effective.
- They got me emotional. / - Yes, totally.
- Whose idea was it? / - Who came up with it?
Youngji, you can do that too.
We'll project your pictures behind you.
- From my first birthday. / - That's right.
From the moment you were born to now.
By the way,
- I picked the wrong seat. / - Why do you say that?
You guys never look at us.
- You ask us nothing. / - Your turn will come.
Don't you worry, Byungsuh.
Now, I shall ask Youngkyu.
(It's still not my turn.)
What did you think of his performance?
I was impressed that he shared his life story
and feelings with us
and thought we'll become like him one day.
- Right. / - I was very moved by it.
Byungsuh, what did you think of it?
Can't you tell?
Goodness, you frustrate me so much.
Why are you getting mad at me all of a sudden?
The two senior actors keep getting mad at me.
This is so stressful.
You guys asked everyone else first.
I had to complain to get a chance
to answer this question.
What is this, seriously?
With all due respect,
we would like to ask you first,
but if we do, you'll go on about Los Angeles.
What else was there? You go way too far.
- Mexico too. / - It's like this.
We prioritize customers who aren't going far
and serve those who need to go far at the end
so that we can be mentally prepared to listen.
This is what I think.
Let's find out the result.
(Dongyeop cuts him off.)
Oh, no. What timing.
I'm so sorry.
(Lee Jungsub versus Kim Yongjin)
I've always known
how well Jungsub can sing and how fun he can be.
Since I already knew that,
I asked our crew about you before the show
and they told me that you're actually
a fan of our show and that you gladly
accepted our invitation to the show.
I watched
Shin Joonghyun Special at the end of last year.
- Oh, you watched it. / - It was incredible.
I'd like to thank you all for applauding me.
My gosh, you're so modest.
Well, actually...
Because he sounds so friendly and gentle,
many of you probably have no idea that he used
to be a scary drill instructor in the army.
I heard that he was known
as Taekwondo Drill Instructor.
Am I right?
Yes, I was a drill instructor in the army.
I didn't teach sparring though.
(The pose looks so cool.)
My moves are very controlled and accurate.
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Please show us the result.
(Lee Jungsub versus Kim Yongjin)
(The song dedicated to his mother)
(2018 will be my year.)
The artist who won the first match of 2018.
Will Yongjin be able to win again with 419 votes?
(He hopes to win again with his high score.)
(His entire acting career of 56 years)
(was infused into his singing.)
Jungsub expressed his entire acting career
through his singing. Will he be the new winner?
(Will his moving performance)
(make him the new winner?)
(The sincerity of both performers moved us.)
(Who will be the winner?)
(The audience chose Kim Yongjin.)
Yongjin took his second win with the score of 419.
(Yongjin is on a winning streak.)
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
I'm sure the result didn't surprise anyone.
Please give them another big round of applause.
Before I come here for this show,
I always check my zodiac reading for the day.
Because all performers' sign is the Dog...
(Today, all performers' sign is the Dog.)
Everyone else has the same Chinese zodiac sign,
so the reading will be the same for everyone.
I thought, "Why am I even reading this?"
What did the reading say?
It said I must take care of what I started.
(It's for everyone who was born in the Year of Dog.)
I will now pick our fourth performer.
I haven't even picked anyone yet.
Just seeing him makes us laugh.
How can his eyebrows look like that?
Everyone in the audience is so excited
after seeing me on the screen.
(They're actually fascinated.)
(Laughing their head off)
He said your eyebrows are pointing downward.
This artist is like a chameleon.
She used to be an idol singer.
She initially made her debut as a member
of a globally popular girl group, Kara,
and traveled all over the world with them.
She has also been in many dramas and variety shows.
We're looking forward to this multitalented
entertainer's endeavors in the new year.
She was also born in the Year of the Dog, 1994.
It's Hur Youngji.
(Hur Youngji)
- Youngji, best of luck! / - Best of luck!
(It's the youngest one's turn.)
Jungsub is back.
(He's back after his moving performance.)
Gosh, I feel so much better now.
- Are you relieved? / - Now, I can chat.
- I'm a chatty person. / - I know how you feel.
I'm not applauding myself for doing a good job.
I'm clapping because I'm so relieved now.
Even your voice sounds livelier now.
- I know, right? / - Yes.
The pitch has gone up.
- It has gone up. / - We can finally hear
- the voice we're used to. / - Exactly.
Earlier, Byungsuh said that
he wants to talk more. When Jungsub said
that he'll chat more from now on,
Byungsuh suddenly tightened his guard.
Well...
- I'm sorry, Byungsuh. / - No, don't worry.
The two of us here are relieved
and those two over there are still so nervous.
It's because they haven't performed yet.
Hello, I'm Hur Youngji born in 1994.
Woof, woof.
Hello.
I'm happy because I can still be the youngest one.
I'm rarely the youngest one these days, but here, I am.
I'm here to refresh your minds and make you happy.
Since I'm performing alone, I feel pressured
to do a great job, but it's also exciting.
I've been feeling all sorts of emotions.
At first, I thought about choosing a ballad,
but I wanted to spread my cheerful,
happy energy to the audience.
I thought hard about which song would be the best
and ended up choosing Uhm Junghwa's "Festival".
Everyone will be able to sing it together.
That's what I have prepared for today.
In 2018, I'll do my best
to show you more things that I can do
through variety shows, dramas and singing,
so please keep rooting for me.
My "Festival" won't let you down.
Please show me love and support!
Wish me luck!
(Released in Uhm Junghwa's fifth album,)
(this song is known to have amassed)
(the most royalties among all songs)
(Joo Younghoon has written to date.)
(Uhm Junghwa initially didn't want to sing the song)
(because of the clapping sound.)
Here comes the fourth performer,
Hur Youngji, who was born in 1994.
(The fourth performance by Hur Youngji)
(Hur Youngji)
Hello, everyone.
I'm Hur Youngji and I was born in 1994.
I prepared this performance
because I wanted to spread my happy energy to you all.
I'll be singing
one of Uhm Junghwa's songs called "Festival".
I hope all of you can enjoy it with me.
Thank you. Please wish me luck.
("Festival" by Hur Youngji)
(Hur Youngji)
Everyone, please sing with me!
Happy 2018!
I wish you all the best for the new year!
(Cheerful and happy energy,)
("Festival" by Hur Youngji)
Thank you.
- Well... / - Shall I leave?
Yes, Youngji. This way.
I'm sorry.
(She finished her performance without a mistake.)
I feel relieved.
I feel so relieved.
(She's so cute.)
She's really cute.
She's so cute.
Gosh, she's cute.
She's like a cute baby sister.
She wished us all a happy new year.
Youngji is really like the youngest member.
She's so cheerful
- and bubbly. / - Bubbly.
- She's like a puppy. / - Yes.
All of a sudden, she dragged a note.
(Singing a high note)
I never thought she'd do that.
- She did it so suddenly. / - She did.
(The refreshing gauge increases.)
Youngji knows what to do since she's an idol.
You're so different from before.
You're speaking so nicely after she sang.
You know.
Youngji just performed. What did you think?
If there are a lot of women
in the audience, Yongjin will win.
If there are more men, Youngji will win.
My 22-year-old daughter is studying in America.
So I want to vote for Youngji.
Let me ask Byungsuh too.
What did you think of Youngji's performance?
The answer is obvious.
I will vote for Youngji.
- Youngji can win. / - Yes.
Yongjin's score is 419.
- What do you think? / - Youngji will get 422.
- 422. / - Three votes difference.
Because it's a special episode,
the audience will be generous.
- They'll be generous. / - Yes.
Youngji's bright energy will make
a great start to the new year.
(Hur Youngji versus Kim Yongjin)
I was shocked.
You put on a really cheerful performance.
You haven't performed in a while.
It's been a while since I last performed,
I also think this is the first time I perform alone.
I never thought I'd have this moment.
Thank you so much.
- My parents are here. / - Are they?
But I didn't look for them
because I was worried that I'd get more nervous.
- It's their first time. / - Where are they?
Where are you? Please stand up.
(Hur Taegeum and Kang Saehyun)
(Smiling)
It's good to see you. Thank you.
They must be so happy to see her perform.
Please give them a round of applause.
Thanks for giving birth to me!
What did you just say?
I just thanked them for giving birth to me.
My dad was born in 1958, the Year of the Dog.
- I see. / - Yes.
They had me at the perfect time.
Thank you.
Right. She's all grown up.
It's really hard to have a baby at a perfect time.
Yes, it's hard.
She's now all grown up to say her gratitude.
Yongjin is on a winning streak.
What's it like in the waiting room?
Everyone wants to sing and get it over with.
We all said he was unbeatable.
I'm actually a big fan of his.
- Thank you. / - But I never thought
I'd meet him here.
I'm his fan.
Are you saying today's the last day as his fan?
No, I'll keep on being his fan.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
It's not easy to perform alone
and to be in command of the stage.
Thanks to you, we enjoyed an exciting performance.
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Let's see the result.
(The result)
(Hur Youngji versus Kim Yongjin)
(A heartwarming voice)
It was a song dedicated to his mom.
Will Kim Yongjin continue his winning streak?
(Will he continue his winning streak?)
(Bubbly and happy energy)
It was a cheerful performance for the new year
by Hur Youngji. Will she win?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(Who will be the winner?)
(Hur Youngji)
It's a score of 422. Hur Youngji.
(Everyone, follow me.)
- It's a score of 422. / - Goodness.
Byungsuh even guessed the score.
- He's amazing. / - He guessed it right.
- Hur Youngji won! / - Amazing.
I have an intuition.
If you want to know your fortune,
visit Byungsuh.
You can do that.
If you want to know your fortune for 2018...
Amazing.
Please give her another big hand.
(Our daughter is the best.)
A score of 422...
Thank you so much.
It'll be a great year for you.
(Yes!)
I will now pick our fifth and sixth performers.
Who will be the fifth performer?
Please guess. Take a guess.
(What's his prediction?)
It'll be me, Choi Byungsuh.
He's the first one in Korean comedy history
who amazed people with special talent.
- You guessed right. / - I told you.
He impersonated a president
for the first time in a skit.
He was really loved then.
Since he can copy others so well,
we called him a living photocopier.
He was born in 1958. It's Choi Byungsuh.
(Choi Byungsuh)
(Fortuneteller)
- Byungsuh... / - Say a few words.
(Please say a few words before you go.)
The Year of the Dog is here.
I wish you luck in 2018. Please listen to my music.
- Thank you. / - Great.
Every Korean loves him.
- Byungsuh, let's go! / - Let's go!
(Good luck, Choi Byungsuh!)
Good luck!
He moved many people with his stage.
Kim Yongjin is back.
(Charming voice Kim Yongjin is back.)
You won twice. Are you satisfied?
I'm really satisfied.
I was able to show a good stage to my mom.
I feel really proud.
When you were choking up on stage,
it was hard for me to keep my tears in.
You choked up several times,
but you held it in. Why did you do that?
I wanted to show my mother
that was I enjoying the stage.
- Right. / - Chiyeul was wailing.
When his father came, he cried his eyes out.
(Yes, my love...)
(Sobbing)
His father was watching very calmly.
Chiyeul cried so much.
I thought you were really cool.
(Will you be my big brother?)
He was so different from me.
It was such a moving stage.
- It was good. / - It was great.
Thank you.
Hello. I was born in 1958. I'm Choi Byungsuh.
Hello everyone, I'm Deokhwa.
(He's a leading comedian who does impersonations.)
Hey. Did you get hired?
You have a fur hat. Why do you need more?
(He made the nation laugh.)
(The handsome middle-aged comedian,)
(Choi Byungsuh)
Those that were born around 1958 were baby boomers.
Many of us were pioneers and we struggled a lot.
Well, I'm 60 years old now.
These days, I miss my old friends.
We used to catch crawfish and fish.
We would have fun during the lunar festival.
I miss them a lot.
Although I can't see them,
I want to share this song with them.
That's why I'll sing Cho Yongpil's "Friend".
Please listen to my song
and remind yourself of the past.
I would appreciate it if the young people
would cheer on this old man.
Other 1958 babies out there,
let's cheer up. Let's go.
("Friend" was released in Cho Yongpil's)
(fifth album as his title song.)
(It won the Golden Cup at a KBS television show,)
(along with a grand prize at the year-end awards.)
(It was the first Korean pop taught in school.)
Here comes the fifth performer, Choi Byungsuh.
(He's so cool.)
Hello.
I'm Jang Donggun in comedy, Choi Byungsuh.
("Friend" by Choi Byungsuh)
Hello, nice to meet you.
For this moment, we're all friends.
Let's put our arms around each other
and move left and right as friends.
Dear friend, I miss you.
Dear friend, I miss you so much.
Dear friend, I love you.
I wonder what you're doing now.
I miss all my friends from my childhood.
My dear friends.
(Choi Byungsuh)
(Our beautiful memories, Choi Byungsuh's "Friend")
(Respect)
That was Choi Byungsuh's "Friend".
The ending was really powerful.
In the middle, he talked to his friends.
- The narration. / - "I miss you so much."
Dear friend, I love you.
Wherever you are,
I miss all my friends from my childhood.
He kept on saying how he missed them.
I was moved then.
I have some friends that passed away.
I was reminded of them.
- I see. / - I was moved.
He said it like a chant.
It felt like he was just talking.
It didn't feel like he was singing.
That's why I liked it.
Then, who do you think will win?
I saw Youngji perform.
The stage smelled like lemons.
She's so cute.
It felt like I could smell lemons.
- Youngji did too well? / - Yes.
- Youngji? / - He did well too.
The way she talks is very cute.
Even though the dance was intense,
she didn't even run out of breath while singing.
- When I was watching you, / - Yes.
- your hand mesmerized me. / - Totally. It was so cool.
Didn't you guys know?
I learned Korean traditional dance.
(If that's the case...)
Chiyeul's Fierce Welcoming Ceremony.
You're such an opportunist.
- What should we do about him? / - Enough is enough.
Jungsub, show us.
- But the basic move is... / - Please show us.
Go to the center of the stage and show us.
- Yes, please. / - Gosh.
Please go easy on me.
I told you that I'm fond of you.
It looks like he's fond of you, so ask him again.
I mean, he won't get mad at you.
I just really want to see the dance.
- He'll do it. / - Give him a big hand!
- One, two, / - Oh, my.
- three, four. / - It's so cool.
Two, two,
- ♪ Going with the flow ♪ / - three, four.
Youngkyu's arm is really annoying me.
(Move your arm, please.)
He's practicing way too hard.
(Hur Youngji versus Choi Byungsuh)
I told Youngji that she should be my daughter.
What a twist of fate.
He told me that I should win.
I actually predicted her score in the waiting room.
- Seriously? / - Yes.
You knew that she'd get such a high score?
Following a dance routine while singing is not easy.
I thought it'd be nice for her to get a high score.
I haven't heard "dance routine" in a long time.
(It sounds old.)
Well... Actually,
I still remember, he's a great friend of mine.
My mother was actually...
(His mother was ill for a long time.)
My mother passed away after being ill for years.
He came to her funeral
and kept doing impressions of everyone that came.
The bereaved cry a lot the day before the funeral
and even though I'm the youngest son,
I was so tired physically and emotionally.
I couldn't really laugh there,
but he kept cracking me up.
So I thought to myself that my mom probably
sent him to me so that I can stop crying.
I can't forget that day as I was so grateful.
Thank you for the amazing performance today.
All right.
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Please show us the result.
(Hur Youngji versus Choi Byungsuh)
(The bubbly, refreshing energy)
(Will Youngji win again?)
Will the cute youngest performer, Youngji,
win again with her score of 422?
(The sincere, heart-moving performance)
(Will the sweet dad, Byungsuh, take his first win?)
Byungsuh's performance gave hope
and solace to those who were born in 1958.
Will he be able to take his first win?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(The youngest daughter versus the dad)
(The audience chose Hur Youngji.)
The daughter won.
(Congratulations.)
Thank you.
Congratulations.
(Youngji took her second win.)
Youngji's cute performance
enabled her to take her second win.
(Her cute charm made her win again.)
The last performer, Youngkyu, still has to perform.
- Everyone. / - I must say...
(He gets up suddenly.)
The audience doesn't respect the elderly.
I don't care about me getting eliminated, but...
(He's mad because Byungsuh got eliminated.)
- This is wrong. / - You're right.
Byungsuh's performance
- was incredible, / - Yes, it was.
but the audience wants to start the new year
- on a happy note. / - Definitely.
That must be why Youngji got so many votes.
The last performer, Youngkyu, is waiting.
You should win since you're the last performer.
- Let's do this. / - He should win.
Make the trophy yours.
You must beat Youngji.
Please say a few words before you head out.
I'll have a great time with the audience.
- I'll do my best. / - Great.
The best actor and the greatest scene-stealer.
- Youngkyu, you got this! / - You got this!
(Best of luck, Youngkyu.)
Hello, I was born in 1970.
I'm actor Song Youngkyu. It's nice to meet you all.
What is it that you want? All right.
I can't even do anything because of that woman.
Your son... I mean, my son.
I'll make him the King.
(Scene-stealer with chameleon-like charms)
(Representing those born in 1970, Song Youngkyu)
(The Year of the Golden Dog)
First of all, it's a huge honor to be here.
My last musical was over a decade ago.
I'm nervous and emotional as I haven't performed
in front of a live audience in ages.
I chose Lee Moonsae's song,
"As You Live in This World".
My wife suggested it
because it'll be a good message for our daughters.
The lyrics are great for the beginning of the year.
I tried singing it and liked it a lot.
I want to give a cheerful performance today.
I think this will be an opportunity for me
to make myself known to more people,
so I'm very happy to be here.
Viewers of Immortal Songs, I hope that 2018
brings you much happiness and success.
Let's power up for the new year.
I love you all.
(The song was released)
(in Lee Moonsae's sixth album.)
(He released it to give hope)
(to those who are going through a rough patch.)
(This album that consists of songs)
(about personal and social issues)
(solidified his position as a musician.)
Here comes today's last performer.
It's Song Youngkyu who was born in 1970.
(Song Youngkyu)
(Dad, I love you.)
(Good luck, Uncle.)
(Singing Hope, The Year of the Golden Dog)
("As You Live in This World" by Song Youngkyu)
Everyone. Gosh, I'm nervous.
I wish you all the best in 2018.
(Dad, I love you. Good luck, Uncle.)
All right. I'm so honored to be here!
(Go, Song Youngkyu!)
Everyone, this is the last performance.
Let's sing together.
Nice!
I love you!
("As You Live in This World" by Song Youngkyu)
Thank you.
(Bravo!)
- Bravo! / - He's really the best.
Amazing.
He really is an actor.
He's an actor.
- I feel betrayed. / - Why?
He was so nervous.
So we tried to help him relax.
But it's always the quiet ones that make trouble.
His two different thoughts clashed.
He kept jumping because he was excited.
Then he got into jumping.
But I guess he didn't jump when he practiced.
(Mismatch between his body and mind)
(He jumped, but he didn't.)
(It's okay. That seemed natural.)
Songhyun, what did you think?
I never had anyone say I love you so powerfully.
I love you!
(Full of passion)
What I thought was...
He looks really kind and gentle,
but he was clapping in front of everyone.
I felt like I was at a church assembly.
(Fellow members, put your hands up!)
That's how I felt.
(Hur Youngji versus Song Youngkyu)
How did you hide your talent
and only focus on acting?
I heard your two daughters told you
- to be on the show. / - Yes.
They're over there.
I see them. Seohee and Seowoo.
(His wife and two daughters are here.)
Your wife and daughters are in the audience.
Really?
I just got a message.
There is only one vote difference.
(The final winner won by one point.)
(He's modest.)
I think Dongyeop has a magic touch.
It's amazing that he chose him as the finale.
You were really nervous, right?
- Yes, I was. / - He was so nervous.
You can see it in the video
that he was shaking his hands.
Still, he tried very hard to do his best.
I'm sure the audience saw that.
And I believe that moved them more.
Thank you.
We are now waiting for the final result.
Youngji has a score of 422.
Will she continue her winning streak
and be the final winner?
Song Youngkyu was the last performer.
Will he receive a score of 423
(Will he win by one point?)
and be the final winner?
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Let's see the result.
(Hur Youngji versus Song Youngkyu)
It's 2018, the Year of the Golden Dog Special.
Will Hur Youngji be the final winner?
It was his first variety show appearance.
Will Song Youngkyu
- be the final winner? / - Let's see!
(He wrote lyrics for over 1,200 songs!)
Today's legend is...
(Folk, dance, ballad and trot)
(A hitmaker that transcends generations)
(Lyricist Lee Gunwoo)
(A completion of rock ballad)
(Heartbreaking lyrics, "Secret Garden")
(Everyone's favorite, "Not Anyone Can Love")
(A hopeless love, "Are You Crying")
(Two men's cute dance)
(I'll save you in my heart.)
(NRG returns after eight years!)
(An homage to Sobangcha, "On the Phone")
(A surprising advanced performance)
(The best hit of its time, "Speed")
(Koonzo revives it in his style!)
(Multi-entertainer, Boom)
(An "Ecstatic Proposal" to the audience)
(A cheerful and passionate performance!)
(Please look forward to next week!)
(Song Youngkyu)
Song Youngkyu!
It's Song Youngkyu!
- Amazing. / - Great!
By one point!
By just one vote!
He won against Youngji.
Song Youngkyu takes
the first trophy of 2018.
- Congratulations! / - Congratulations!
Thanks to Youngkyu,
we are starting 2018
very energetically.
Please give it up again.
Thank you. Happy new year! Thank you!
(The Year of the Golden Dog Special)
Songhyun, what's your new year's resolution?
In 2018... Actually, I'm working alone.
- I don't have an agency. / - I see.
I want to meet a great partner and meet a great work.
Since it's the Year of the Golden Dog.
That's my wish.
I want to try singing a fast tempo song.
(Be courageous in the new year.)
- Nice. / - We'd love that.
- That's great. / - Yes.
Novelist Pak Kyongni said
"I'm at peace because all I have left"
"are things to be left behind."
I want to grow old as a wonderful grandpa.
After 12 years from now,
I want to sing "Wrongful Encounter"
on the Year of the Dog Special.
(Please stay healthy.)
I'd like to do that instead of retiring.
Instead of retiring.
- I'll do my best. / - That's great.
- Happy new year! / - Happy new year!
(Happy New Year!)
